World Scientists "Warning to Humanity Statement"

Nothing will change while it affects the profits generated for the corporate buddies of our conservative governments.

This warning wasn't given airplay by the major American and Canadian media, so I posted on behalf of all decent and concerned people.

I agree that we'll need more shock treatment, but it never hurts to be informed*, especially on something as important as this.

*I'm sure most forumers of this section either know of it or suspect something like it, I really did for the occasional lurker.

Thanks for posting this David Henry. I'm on an e-mailing list sent out by concerned scientists which highlights current environmental/technological/etc issues which need more attention from the people.

George W.Bush

I'd like to thank you as well David.

These are important issues that we tend to forget about...thanks for the reminder, David.

LOL on Dubbya.

Thanks ladies and gentleman.

My problem is that it's obvious that the politicians are puppets of the energy/richest companies in the world and have proven that they are scientifically illiterate by ignoring TWTHS92.

Therefore it seems appropriate to inform people that "they" must take action....ideally this will include modifying their own consumption habits, ie, don't buy an SUV if you don't really need it...and so on.
And voting for the parties who favour preserving our life support system, not exhausting it.

In my view, we are running out of environment whilst both increasing pops and consumption via Globalization....this defies the scientific warnings we have received, therefore the world needs to radically alter it's mindset WRT pop and consumption.

This is a Global problem, China and India are predicted to have 4 billion by 2030 and emitting 4 times as much pollution as the US currently does.
It seems to me that world politicians are going to take us to the brink of economic collapse....Capitalism will collapse before the last tree, it will collapse when plentiful and easy to extract raw materials are no longer available, and this will represent itself threw the sharemarket, leading to a potential economic disaster.

Capitalism cannot exist without psychological support.

EDIT:

Most people define capitalism in a logistical sense, they forget that it's defined by it's values, and that can be described as "man as self interested and the modern adjunct of entitled to consumer sovereignty".

I believe the The Warning to Humanity Statement 1992 and the GEO-3 report of 2002 alert us to the possibility that capitalism will collapse at current rates in about 25-40yrs.

Capitalism needs two types of support, it needs a functional environment, replete with high grade raw materials{plenty and easy to extract}...it also needs psychological support.
As we attempt the foolishness of Globalization{without regard to the scientific constraint of the eco-footprint}, we squeeze the system to breaking point, this will diminish psychological support once enough people are aware that our values are threatening our life support system{the biosphere}.

IMO, we need to replace the underlying values to something along these lines...."man as steward of the biosphere, entitled to no more than the eco-footprint will allow+ concern for all members of society regardless of age or socio-economic status"
